Arthroscopic management of avulsion fractures of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament: A novel technique and mid-term outcomes.

Purpose: This study assessed the outcomes of arthroscopic management of avulsion fractures of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), with holding of the PCL with two ''cinch knots''.

Methods: 15 patients with avulsion fractures of the tibial attachment of the PCL were treated with arthroscopic reduction and fixation with holding of the PCL with two ''cinch knots''. All patients were males with mean age of 28 (range, 15-44) years.

Economic Reliable Arthroscopic Technique for Reduction and Fixation of Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation.

Separation of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) is a common orthopaedic injury among athletes involved in contact sports and victims of motor vehicle accidents. ACJ disruptions are common in athletes. Treatment is guided by the level of injury; grade 1 and 2 injuries are managed nonoperatively.

No correlation exists between coracoid tunnel widening and loss of reduction after arthroscopic acromioclavicular fixation using tightrope system.

Purpose: To detect the widening of the tunnel of the coracoid process after arthroscopic fixation of acute acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation using the TightRope system and its correlation with loss of reduction and functional scores.

Methods: From 2016 to 2018, a prospective study was performed on twenty-three patients with acute grade III-V ACJ dislocation. Arthroscopic TightRope repair of the ACJ was performed.

Suprameniscal Portal for Repairing Meniscal Root Tears.

Several techniques and portals have been described for meniscal root repairs. Some authors describe using anterior portals for suture passing and manipulation of meniscal tissue, with some risk of iatrogenic chondral injuries reported. Other authors describe using posterior portals to avoid this risk.

Latarjet Procedure for Anterior Shoulder Instability Due to Tramadol-Induced Seizures: A Multicenter Study.

Background: Seizures, commonly due to epilepsy, are known to cause shoulder instability. Tramadol addiction has recently been found to induce seizures in patients who exceed the recommended dose. Because of the easy accessibility and low cost of tramadol, an increasingly alarming phenomenon of tramadol abuse has been demonstrated in recent years.
